Wonderful bio of Kubrick

Revisado: 04-04-20

Wonderful bio of Stanley Kubrick from an employee who loved him and who was loved by Stanley. Only complaint is performer. Something about the way he puts emotion into his voice is not pleasant to the ear. Maybe it’s just his voice. But don’t let that stop you buying this book. The film S is for STANLEY is essentially this book. But the book has more stories. The film is good I’m glad to have both.

Moscow Rules and The Defector are Silva at his best

Revisado: 07-06-17

Two separate books equal one great Gabriel Allon tale. Each book can stand alone. But do yourself a favor and read them back to back. Up til now I thought nothing could rate as highly with me as A Death in Vienna. These two books taken together are every bit as excellent as "Vienna" and in completely different ways. No spoilers. Just trust me. If you enjoy Gabriel Allon books, I believe you'll find these three are the best of this excellent series
A note about the narrator. I find Phil Gigante's style, voice and accents far superior to that of George Guidall. Guidall's Allon sounds like a very old Shamrone. Indeed, regarding all the characters at times it's difficult to tell one voice from another. Odd since normally I like Mr Giudall reading absolutely any other books except this series. However, his narration has not stopped me buying any book in the series. Not terrible at all-just not my favorite of the two men. I have listened to several narrations by Phil Gigante of various authors/books and have never been disappointed. This is my personal preference. I see by other reviews many people prefer just the opposite!

Love these books

Revisado: 02-02-17

This one concerns the Shoa and is beautifully done. Wounds are healed by Allon that he never knew existed. Only minor problem is narrator It's difficult to distinguish who's speaking at times because his accent - tone hardly changes from character to character. Still, an excellent book well worth a listen.

I can see Eric Cantana as Sharko.

Liked this one BETTER than the first, Syndrome E. That was a good intro to the two main characters. Bred To Kill moves at a faster pace and the plot is more interesting by far. Hope there are more to come with these characters.

Another great book by Nesbo.

Revisado: 04-06-16

Not quite as good as The Redbreast and The Devil's Star but well worth the time and money. Doesn't keep you as on the edge as those two. But comes close! The narrator isn't up to Robin Sachs caliber but he doesn't do harm to the listening of the book. This is another great book by Jo Nesbo. He really is something special

Didn't think anything could equal The Redbreast

Revisado: 04-04-16

This one may even surpass The Redbreast. Disappointed when no resolution to a key murder in Redbreast not resolved in Nemesis. It is resolved here and then some!

Read this years ago. Loved it. Jo Nesbo is the best. Robin Sachs does the narration to perfection.
